Small arm, big impact: Meet the unsung hero of ergonomic workspaces

Winner of the 2025 RedDot Design Awards, the newly relaunched Flo monitor arm by Colebrook Bosson Saunders (CBS) brings refined ergonomics and effortless movement to the forefront of modern workspaces – proving that comfort and performance start at the desk.

Small arm, big impact: Meet the unsung hero of ergonomic workspaces

In the hierarchy of workplace design, it’s easy to overlook the humble monitor arm. But when it comes to creating agile, ergonomic environments that truly support human health and productivity, it’s often the smallest interventions that leave a lasting impression.

Flo is the latest monitor arm to be released by Colebrook Bosson Saunders. Precision-engineered to support dynamic movement with minimal visual impact, Flo offers a sleek solution for screen positioning that’s as intuitive as it is technically refined. Designed to enhance anthropometric comfort across a range of working styles, this next-generation arm allows users to effortlessly position their monitor with fingertip control – no knobs, tools, or complicated mechanisms.

While its form is discreet, Flo’s performance is anything but. A patented geometric spring mechanism ensures a smooth, weightless movement that holds its place at any angle or height. Whether standing, sitting, or switching between the two, Flo accommodates fluid repositioning throughout the day. It’s this silent adaptability that makes it indispensable in shared or activity-based workspaces, where multiple users rely on seamless adjustment.

From a design perspective, Flo’s minimal footprint and clean lines make it an easy inclusion across a range of aesthetics – from contemporary corporate to boutique co-working. Its concealed cable management and compact profile help maintain a tidy, distraction-free desk. Available in multiple finishes, Flo integrates without imposing, enabling designers to retain visual harmony while elevating user comfort.Critically, Flo supports modern hybrid and digital work habits. Unlike any other monitor arm in the market, Flo is compatible with all kinds of curved monitors, including those with a 1000R depth – making gaming, work and movies feel immersive. And Flor can hold between two to seven kilograms with ease and stability.

It’s an approach that keeps pace with evolving tech without compromising ergonomic standards. For interior designers specifying furniture for new fit-outs or retrofitting existing spaces, Flo is a future-proofed, high-performance accessory that aligns with the increasing focus on wellness at work.

It may be one of the smallest items in a workstation fit-out, but the Flo monitor arm plays a pivotal role in reshaping how people feel, move and perform at their desks. In the ongoing conversation around workplace wellbeing, this is one piece of the puzzle that quietly does the heavy lifting.
